My desk accumulates clutter throughout the day, but I make it habit to put things back before I retire, so I can feel calmer in the morning. The rest of my place depends on which way the wind is blowing that day. Dishes are my kryptonite. :D

: In 2000 I toured Germany for about a week. Not one of the public bathrooms (restaurants, etc.)

Maybe that's one way Germans ensure only the strong survive. I once saw a show in which they said that in Germany people spend an average of four hours a day cleaning. This is hilarious. I'd rather go work in the coal mines. 😄
